Having met in the late 80’s Boo & Darden went on to make the album ‘Evidence’. Generally acknowledged as a perfect album in the acoustic guitar-based melodic rock genre. Check out "Reminds Me (A Little of You)", or "All I Want (Is Everything)", or "The First Chill of Winter", or "Love Is A Strange Hotel". An album chock full of great songs benefiting from a sparse but atmospheric production.
Boo is one of the busiest gigging musicians around, playing upwards of 200 live shows every year. Sometimes referred to as ‘a musician’s musician’, his songs have been covered by over 50 other artists. These include Eddi Reader (who recorded Boo’s Ivor Novello Award nominated song Patience of Angels), kd lang, Natalie Imbruglia, Hepburn, Marti Pellow, Swan Dive and Suggs. www.boohewerdine.net
